OT--hard drive died :(

I was wondering where you were Jeanne. I thought maybe I had missed an announcement of some sort while I was off doing other things. I hope you get up and running soon.

Sorry about your 'puter. When you get running again let us know if you need help finding some of your old favorite quilty sites. Although I'd be surprised if you do need help with that since you are the most amazing internet searcher I know. Debra in VA See my quilts at

Yeesh, Jeanne! I am so sorry! You never know how much you depend on a 'puter till the durn thing decides to up and die. :(

But if I may make a suggestion? Instead of a laser mouse, look into getting a stylus and tablet ... you can get a good one for $50. It'll give you more flexibility if you use apps like EQ AND it cuts down on the risk of developing carpal tunnel.

Are you back yet??? We miss you...

I'll do what I can, my friend, but Jym's working 60-70 hours a week these days, so it's hard to even get a word in. The only way we've been able to get stuff off the hard drives we had in our laptops was to get USB cases for them, and then they become external drives. Might be an option, but make sure that the # of pins match. If you need more info, let me know. I'll be around a lot this weekend.

I'm sure you'll be able to do it. It's not always easy, but I know that unless you've reformatted or written over files, you never permanently lose them. I'll be at work tomorrow, but will be on Yahoo IM, if you wanna chat. There is a web version, in case you don't want to install it just yet. webmessenger.yahoo.com
